after the pullout a triple bombing in baghdad and dozens dead bring doubts over whether iraq you forces can manage in the wake of the withdrawal of u.s. combat troops. instant karma the internet's rise in a rush is allowing more and more people to highlight problems like crime and corruption that in the past would have gone unnoticed. many of the people living here and been here for months if not years and the question that many of them asked themselves over and over again is why are we still here are there really no other option left for our to revisit and city homeless camp in the woods of new jersey.

eight am in moscow. good to have you with us here on r t our top story a triple car bombing in baghdad has provoked fresh doubts over whether iraqi security forces are able to cope following the official end of u.s. combat operations there at least thirty six people were killed by the three blasts in separate parts of the city although fifty thousand u.s. troops remain to assist local forces people there are afraid insurgency and stability well they get worse. dark and dangerous and body armor it does little to protect against the fact that they're not welcome here they're doing it despite a patrol through one of the iraqi neighborhoods trying to prevent counterattack fire this is a bomb his team his state behind the mission providing training support and backup to the iraqi police when they get to our level we go over our operations order and

planning for the actual missions we're going to do then we do a pretty brief and we actually go and execute these type missions that we're on now but the u.s. invasion to have a fully functioning iraqi security force did not protect safire ismail's husband four years ago he disappeared without a trace. he called me and said he was coming to pick me up i said the situation is really bad don't come but he said now i have to come here so far as certain husbands did as are the families of tens of thousands of iraqis who've also disappeared since two thousand and three human rights organizations put some of the blame with the local security forces whose trainees are not always the white candidates for the job a lot of them they have come from illiterate you know bugger all or some of them they are just the from the tribes and clans some of them just because they are part of the political parties militias and so on and the problem is compounded by the limited training they given you can apply for the kinds of these. people being up

to the checkpoint like this needs to be suffered here to see the months of training that appears to be certain they're full of car bombs missing weapons and stones and i think. and it's a far cry from what is needed or whether they are not untrained but the training they receive is not enough the americans only thought to create an iraqi army in two thousand and four by then it was too late because the terrorists had already infiltrated the. but with the increase of violence in iraq in recent weeks the need for a competent domestic security force has never been greater but whether or not the u.s. and iraq can rise to the challenge is still yet to be seen police we are r t baghdad . with blogging on the rise anyone can try their hand as an investigative journalist and publish stories that otherwise might have been ignored by the mainstream media their reports on the internet can quickly find an audience and

even sometimes go global artie's catarina portside how russian bloggers are helping stop crime corruption and bullying. parents and students said this man could bully children on more than one occasion because he was the head of the local administration people were afraid to speak out what desktops laptops phones and p.t.a.'s internet in russia is becoming much more available and much more than just meant for many it has become a virtual speaker's corner where their voice will not only be heard but is guaranteed to echo across the country within hours this particular video which brought about his dismissal is a clear example of how the looting has transformed russia. russia biddies and there's an orphan a master chess player a math genius and guaranteed state benefits he's missing the start of the academic

a remote part of central russia police couldn't find the corporates for days but the information they provided allowed bloggers to find them in a matter of hours names. says and license plates included so why is russia's online community becoming suddenly so influential which if this. first of all it's evidence of a technological progress the internet is becoming more and more available and because it's available more and more people are using it for things other than where it's a community and a much faster one than any other and that the by districts this spike in online use means it's not just journalists who can uncover information so what does this say about russia's fourth estate if the news doesn't associate mr this doesn't mean that journalists of bad and bloggers a better or that the only notion of free speech exists online it's simply a matter of choice we no longer want to watch someone else's run down we want to and can make the internet allows us to choose what we want to know about at a speed print t.v.
